Cheap Flights to Ponza from HK$807

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Ponza in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Ponza easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
